It was one of my smartest decisions made in 2006: didn't purchase a season ski pass for this season. The incredibly warm winter in New England marks a miserable year in every ski resort's year book. As a result, I didn't hit the slopes until the 21st of January, and it's in Colorado!

Been riding in New England all the time, I feel like a frog at the bottom of a well, as the Chinese saying puts it, after I came to the Summit County for the first time: the powder is soft and thick, the trails are wide with lots of variations, the crowd is few, the scenery is beautiful, I already start to miss the breathtaking view at the top of the bowl in Vail, the tricky but thickly powdered tree paths in Breckenridge and the wild and wide rides in Keystone and we still have 2 more days to explore! Life is good and I have no complain.
